# API Reference Staging Notes

`docs/api-reference/` in this repository is a **repo-local evidence area**, not the long-term canonical vendor-doc archive.

Use this folder for:

- temporary raw-document captures when only the LumenX repo is available
- implementation evidence attached to a model onboarding PR
- local review of vendor request/response examples while updating `model_catalog`

Do not assume files here replace the recommended external raw-doc archive repo.

## Recommended interpretation

- **Best case**: the same source page is also archived in the dedicated vendor-doc repo
- **Repo-only case**: this folder is the local staging mirror until the external archive and Context Hub package are updated

## Minimum metadata to keep in each staged doc

- original source URL
- capture date
- provider / family / model scope
- any version or release note visible in the source
